My very own "Altar to the gods of Speed"...

Over $1000 worth of machine work and parts, ready to re-install!

Got the pistons back after de-carboning, with new rings and scrubbers. And the cylinders have been cleaned up and re-honed, and of course the heads have been rebuilt.

Now? I've just got to get it all back together and see if she'll run!
